What are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage. They're sometimes called 'indirect fillings' because they're fabricated in a dental lab and then bonded to your tooth. Inlays fit within the tooth's cusps, while onlays cover one or more cusps. Both provide excellent durability and a natural appearance.
